Byssan lull, liten tull'
Sei me hadde stovå full
av slike små’e jenta’
Kjøkkenet, spisskammerset,
Og haugen oppå takjet.
Translation
Hush-a-by, little bundle (tull= bundle, tulle=baby girl)
Say we had a living room full
Of such tiny girls,
The kitchen, the larder,
And the “heap/pile” on top of the roof.
The heap/pile is an older, probably distorted word of unknown meaning nowadays.
It may refer to the grassy rooftops that had piles of earth underneath.
